It's listed on their status challenge website, so I assume so. I think Diamond matches to Gold if you fly 12,500EQM/1,500EQD or something.

Yes. 40k to qualify, 25k/year to renew or 37.5k over 2 years. I think you can also buy up to a certain number of EQMs.
If the merger doesn't go through for whatever reason, Asiana could very well go out of business, and if the merger does go through, it's 100% guaranteed it's absorbed into KE. Either way, pretty high chances you'll have to start over to stay in Star.
